Bicycles

We recently purchased some "Hybrid" bicycles! We have wanted some bikes for a little while and finally decided which type to get.

In addition to enjoying these bikes for strolls around the block and biking for the sake of biking, we hope to participate in a triathlon in Pensacola Beach, FL on October 3rd. The triathlon will be a little shorter than an olympic distance and a little longer than a sprint distance- all in all, much flatter terrain than Whitney's triathlon a few years ago in CT which was ranked one of the hilliest in the country!

The race should be a 600 yard swim, an 18 mile bike, and a 3.1 mile run.

It will certainly be a challenge to fit training in now that we are both working, but it should be a fun time of fitness and togetherness. Ultimately we will not train to beat a certain time, but simply to participate in the race in October without falling over afterwards :).

Speaking of work, Josh will begin a new phase of flight training, after an 8 week hiatus, on Monday, August the 3rd. This phase of flight training, "Primary", is typically about 4 months long, pending weather conditions.






The pictures taken on this particular bike ride are from a 17 mile ride along Perdido Key- there is a very wide bike lane starting in Perdido Key (Florida), which continues for many miles into Gulf Shores, AL.

We hope all is well with our family and friends- we really enjoy keeping in touch and would love to hear updates on you all as well!

Love,
Whit and Josh
